Moose indifferent to canopy loss from forest disturbance by bark beetles
The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 4, May 2026.Moose showed strikingly similar patterns of habitat selection before and after widespread forest disturbance following an infestation of bark beetles. Our findings indicate that beetle‐kill does not appreciably alter habitat quality for moose and highlight the importance of riparian areas in sustaining moose as they contend with changing forests ...

Brownotate, a Comprehensive Solution to Generate Protein Sequence Databases for Any Species
PROTEOMICS, Volume 26, Issue 5, Page 13-26, May 2026.ABSTRACT Proteomics is strengthening research in biology and the diversification of the model organisms studied is very promising for fully understanding the complexity of biological principles. However, the lack of protein sequence databases for many species is a major bottleneck.

Portable X‐Ray Fluorescence in the Assessment of Zinc Along Grizzly Bear Hair
X-Ray Spectrometry, Volume 55, Issue 3, Page 473-482, May/June 2026.ABSTRACT As a biomarker of past uptake of zinc, hair presents an interesting option since its growth can provide a stored record over time. This study investigates the distribution of zinc in hairs gathered from a series of grizzly bears ( Ursus arctos horribilis ).

Ursids evolved dietary diversity without major alterations in metabolic rates
Scientific ReportsThe diets of the eight species of ursids range from carnivory (e.g., polar bears, Ursus maritimus) to insectivory (e.g., sloth bears, Melursus ursinus), omnivory (e.g., brown bears, U.

Use of isotopic sulfur to determine whitebark pine consumption by Yellowstone bears: A reassessment
Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2014 Use of naturally occurring stable isotopes to estimate assimilated diet of bears is one of the single greatest breakthroughs in nutritional ecology during the past 20 years. Previous research in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem (GYE), USA, established a

Large mammal recovery in the wake of human population decline
Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 5, May 2026.Human depopulation, particularly in rural areas, has contributed to the recovery of some large mammal populations. While recovery is generally good news for conservation, it can also lead to human‐wildlife conflict. We present several avenues to maximize coexistence in the face of further rural depopulation in other places. Read the free Plain Language
